Ben's the cream of the crop

An unprecedented 93% of Nottingham Forest supporters voted Ben Osborn as The Bed Chambers Player of the Month for January.

The voting came after Osborn’s injury-time winner at the iPro Stadium, which sent the visiting fans into raptures of joy as The Reds beat their rivals Derby County. Osborn cemented his place in our midfield with some excellent performances in what was a very difficult month.

Britt Assombalonga came second with 4% of the votes after he helped himself to the equaliser at the iPro Stadium and Henri Lansbury, largely thanks to a brace at Fulham, came third (2%).

Osborn wins a £100 voucher for The Bed Chambers together with a bottle of champagne. The winning fan, selected at random from those who voted for Osborn, is Richard Fletcher, and he also wins a £100 voucher to spend at The Bed Chambers. Richard will also present Osborn with his award at the Nigel Doughty Academy.

Another winner is Jonny Heald. Unsurprisingly, he voted for Osborn’s winner at Derby as his Dream Moment, saying: “Benny Osborn's 92nd-minute winner against Derby had me twirling my scarf in the stands, trying to make sure my dad didn't fall down several steps in the surge and hugging random fans while we were screeching in each other's ears.
